So, we recently went camping in the North Georgia mountains and of course we couldn't resist doing a few traditional things like making s'mores, plant-based burgers and especially vegan kebabs on a grill. We did it with a vegan and gluten-free twist on the classic Middle Eastern meat dish Kebab and that was the fun part.
These veggie skewers are so easy to make and are a great cooking activity to do with the kiddos. With the vegan kabobs we could try almost any combination of sweet and savory veggies we liked. And while we didn't get too adventurous on this camping trip; our next go around we plan on adding fresh peaches and pineapple to the mix.
We hope this becomes a new summer grilling go to for you like it has for us.
